I tried looking for one of these cards on Ebay in the UK and drew a blank. I
tried a few alternative searches too, but still got nowhere. Is there
anything else I could look for that would do the same thing? If so, how do
you get the software onto the card?
Thanks

I found some discussion of card compatibility here:

You should be able to hit CTRL-B a couple times on the first serial
port during power up to get to a ">>>" prompt, then do something
like this:
Does anyone
know how to extract one of these from the flash card?
I've got a 900TM booting from flash with version 2.4 WWENG2.SYS on the
card,
but I can't figure out how to copy it off the
card for another 900TM.
I obtained a second 900TM that didn't have a card included. I won a
"Mitsubishi
Melcard 2MB F?E?PROM MEMORY Card
MF82M1-77DAT01" on e-bay, which is
identical to what DEC provided, and successfully booted and loaded
wweng2.sys
version 2.2, which I believe is the 1646592 byte
version supervinx also
has.
My 900TM with 2.4 works better than the other one booting 2.2. If anyone
has
any info on reading WWENG2.SYS 2.4 off my working
unit, please let me
know.

I had some trouble getting to the ">>>" prompt successfully, but
once there, had no trouble netbooting and updating the flash.
